In this week's Consistent Contemplation, we explore the practice of writing. Yes - literally writing with a physical pen and notepad or journal. We often disregard the act of sitting in our full presence and writing down our observations, reflections, and thoughts. This may be out of the bustle of doing it for daily tasks, fear, or even laziness, but the act itself is freeing. Let's find out how together!We begin the episode by sharing a few insights from previous video episodes we have been releasing. Thereafter, we explore the value of recognizing our presence by engaging in a guided practice within the nature and environment around us.

In this week's Consistent Contemplation, we explore the meaning of the word, 'Essence'. We use that word lightly to mean so many things, but by definition, it allows us to consider something's nature. This episode is an inspired practice from the last few episodes. In fact, it is an extrapolation of our LIVE event with Swami Sarvapriyananda! Check that out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJBgUmYk1csBefore we begin a new season, we bring to you our reflections and a practice from the previous season of guests. We begin by highlighting the event and learnings from that discussion. Secondly, we discuss our thoughts on the 'essence of things' and how this attachment can often cause our anxiety. We do a practice together exploring the nature of things in front of us - literally. We conclude the episode by previewing the summer! Join us as we reflect and meditate together in this sanctuary!
